Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Bulletin of the University of Texas: No; 108 The interests of the University of Texas are correlative and co-extensive with the interests of the high schools of the State. The growth of the University in number and quality of students must depend upon the increase in number and efficiency of high schools. The University strives to assist high schools in adjusting courses of study, in selecting suitable equipments, in providing adequate buildings and efficient teachers; the high schools, in turn, prepare more and better students for higher training. When the University opened its doors to students, in 1883, no provisions were made for the affiliation of high schools. All students were admitted on examination or on individual approval. At that time there were few public high schools in the State. An examination of the catalogues of the schools now affiliated discloses the fact that nine-tenths of these schools have been organized since 1883. The Houston High School sent out its first graduate in 1879. The first graduating class of the Dallas High School consisted of eight young ladies, who completed the course in 1887. When the University began work with a strong faculty, in 1883, it met with sore disappointment. The 221 students who applied for admission were not prepared for college work. The only preparatory schools in the State were private academies. The teachers of these academies had been trained in Eastern colleges and usually directed their graduates to the colleges which they had attended. For the two succeeding years, after the opening of the University, the number of students diminished. Soon those in authority began to realize that they were attempting to build a University without providing a foundation. They began to realize that it would be impossible to have a great State university without an efficient system of elementary and high schools. So, within the scholastic year 1885-86, the first provisions were made for the visitation and affiliation of high schools. Only four schools were affiliated during the first year. Since that date, with the exception of the year 1890-91, the number of students enrolled in the University, each year, has exceeded the enrollment of the preceding year.
